Summary

Al Capone BABY! Without a doubt, the most famous gangster in American... if not world history.. Capone ruled over an empire of organized crime in Chicago during prohibition.The tough and scrappy kid from Brooklyn, who was ready to throw hands at the drop of a hat. Ended up reigning supreme, over one of the most dangerous, and bloodiest times of Chicago’s history. There’s a reason there’s been multiple films and tv shows about this almost larger than life character. From him making a name for himself on the streets of Brooklyn, through when he was running the streets of Chicago, up until he was shitting the sheets of his Florida estate, we're gonna cover it all. In this part one, we cover the early life and upbringing of the OG of OG’s. Al Capone.
